Salam !
Dear Ahammed,
mine is like this..
the past is destined..
now..i work..how ?
Only the best way around..the way of Prophet (S.A.W)..the way of Muhammad Rasulullah.
the future i don’t know.

“What was written to happen, happened”
This is one of the six fundamental believe in Islam..i was taught..correct me if i am wrong..i am not aleem. No..we definitely should not seat back and relaxed and just let things around us unfold. Look how hard Our Prophet work for us..don’t you think we should work even harder

The butterfly in labour
The sparrow in labour
The spider web spun of labour
Such utmost perfection

Human labour of intersection
Prophecy from Allah
Knowledge in circumspect
Labour of love

Jazak Allahkhair dear sister Umm Sephora, lots & lots of hugs for writing this piece, all Glories to Allah(swt). There is indeed a great lesson to learn & reflect upon from ur post. I am so humbled when I think back that I can’t control my tears. Why is it that we can’t be grateful & thankful to Allah as events progress in our life, even though we know that He (Our Creator) loves us more than 70 mothers put together. We have to sit back & reflect into our past to realise His greatness for the events in our lives(good or bad). I pray that He gives us (all brothers & sisters in faith) the thoughtful & spontaneous realisation to really mean “Alhamdullilah” from the heart when we say it with our tongue always & in all situations we face inlife. May Allah reward you & your baby immensely – Aameen

Jazak Allahu Khair,
Dear brothers and sisters of “virtualmosque.com” , you always share mind touching blogs and may Almighty Allah(SWT) pour HIS countless blessings upon you all.

Some of the parts I could not understand and hope you would help me.

“What was written to happen, happened” (paragraph 8 )”

could you explain me the role we must play to the happenings.From all the above i can understand that we are just moving along with clouds and we must be happy with that , by affirming its Allah(SWT) decides everything and i have no control over any situations or happenings.
If life is so , then we must be like “just work/have food/and do some halal things” :- thats life.

We should be careful not to confuse surrender with lack of critique or knowledge of how the medical field does c sections out of convenience, not necessity. The c section statistics suggest that they are asking us to believe that one in three women are unable to give birth naturally? As if Allah did not create a woman’s body capable enough?

I wish there had been more facts and statistics to make us informed Muslim women when it comes to childbirth and the “childbirth industry.”
